Quick! recommend me dead easy songs for acoustic guitar
I'm armed with my mighty repertoire of 20 or so songs for Reading, along with my tiny Crafter guitar, but there's a problem- they're all songs I like, and nobody likes songs I like but me :) I think 10 of them are Carter USM :roll:
So, using preferrably only roots, no barres (can't do barre chords worth a damn on acoustic, the only exception I make is F#m), what songs can I knock out in a day that other people will ever have heard of apart from me, my brother, my mate Graham, and his mate Robert? This isn't false modesty, I'm extremely rubbish... |
theres a few songs from the tragically hip i learned in about 10 mins....wheat kings is a good one, easy easy....hotel california is suprisingly easy also, hey joe by hendrix is not bad either. wish i could think of more but iv had my after dinner drink(s).
sorry for the spelling, if I managed to do any that is :) |
Just go with Carter - sounds good to me :)
|
"house of the rising sun" and "nights in white satin"... all I ever learned to play, so must be easy.
Also going to Reading me :-) PS: SoulKiss... that fierce and scary man in your avatar... his sword is missing a blade, or is it just me? |
Stairway to Heaven mate...you know you want to! :P

Are you in a re-enactment society, or does "that time of the year" refer to something else ;-) Bloody impressive leathers though ... |

Kinda like Dungeons & Dragons etc, except instead of sitting round the dining-room table rolling dice, you dress up, act stuff out, get terribly drunk and hit people with swords/axes whatever :) all good fun. Time of year refers to the August Bank holiday which traditionally is the biggest events of the year - the biggest of which is The Gathering, which is where I will be. The leathers were bought, but next year I plan to have finally gotten round to making some to my own design, was all ready to get started this year when I had the brainwave (after seeing the sale items on the Infinity website) of building it with normal bike armour in it too. So next year, instead of getting the train, I may be able to strap the camping gear to the bike and ride up in my armour. David |

You wouldn't happen to have the URL for the ebay shop tho anyways :) David |
Green Day - Good Riddance ( Time of your life )
PM me if you want the chords Northwind its a piece of p*ss to play but sounds ace on acoustic. |
when I used to play bass (many years ago . . .) my local guitar shop had a sign promising a £10 fine to anyone trying out a new axe and playing 'House of the Rising Sun' or 'Peaches' :lol:
|
Good Riddance I have down... I'm not quite that useless :) Wonderwall's a good call, crowd pleaser that. My brother knows Rising Sun, I'll let him handle that part. Dont; actually know Hey Joe, I'll have a pop at Hotel California though. Cheers folks!
Terence, if you hear lots of Carter songs being played really badly, and sung by a large man with an awful comedy London accept, that'll be us- come and say hello :) |

Bodycount (full name Bodymotha****ingcount featuring Ice Motha****ing T) covered that on friday :) I just barely recognised it.
The Carter USM and Wildhearts tracks went down pretty well, but in the end I just kept on giving it to other people to play for us :wink: |
A mate of mine, who was a proper guitarist, with grooves worn out of his fingers and everything, had an Oasis medley.
He would play 4 chords. He'd then name each chord. Then he'd start playing more or less the entire Oasis catalogue, using nothing but those 4 chords. Just song to song to song, same chords. Good party trick anyway, :lol: |
When i started out playing guitar many moons ago (ok, four years ago) i learnt alot of red hot chilli peppers. Thats easy stuff to learn and along the way you'll gather some good techniques that every half decent gutiarist should be aware of.
I also recomend Nothing Else Matters by metallica - just the chords, you dont have to do the fiddly fingerpicking stuff. Good luck! Matt |
